Card of the Week-For Real this Time

Ok, well now that I have had my laughs, let's get on to the card of the week :).

This week's card is Arbeid

I love this guy. He is such a frustrating creature to be up against. He is like two Melody of Mirages in one creature! Plasma Arrows, Allmageddon, Supercooled Rain, all of these cards kneel before the powers of Arbeid. He can turn any of your opponent's large attacks into something as weak as a Spirit Gust attack.

Although he might not be much of a fighter, he is still going to be a great addition to your overworld team. He can save you upwards of 90 points of damage if used on the right attacks, which saves you more energy than a Karabba ever could. So think next time you decide not to put this uncommon overworlder into your team :).

Rate out of ten, say hello, or do whatever you want! Have fun with it people! :).

From the Gauntlet-Aggro Decks

"Hey guys! Welcome back to From the Gauntlet, your one stop shop for all your chaotic strategy needs! This will be part one of a three part series where I am going to explore the three major deck types in the metagame. Those of you who are familiar with other card games might have heard these terms before, but that doesn’t make them any less relevant when it comes to Chaotic. Over the next three weeks, I will talk about aggro, combo, and control decks. This week will focus on one of the most popular of the deck types: the aggro deck...."

Bungle in the Jungle, CCTW-March 11

Welcome back for yet another card of the week! :)

This week we are going to celebrate a favorite location of mine: The Heart of the Jungle. No one likes it when their awesome overworld healing lineup is stopped dead in its tracks by a Gan'trak army. This location gives you a turn of safety. Chances are, your creatures have at least one stat that is higher than all of your opponent's stats, so if your opponent would start lowering your stats, he is signing his own creature's death warrent.

But I'm not saying that only overworlders can benefit from this sort of card. Any player who wants to show those darned M'arrillians a thing or two might find some use for this card. The Kha'rall's intimidate will backfire on themselves, and Gan'trak will only end up stopping his own creatures.

So, rate this location out of ten like always :).

Chaotic Card of the Week-March 4

This week's card is Agrino Jaldar.



Agrino Jaldar is an interesting creature. What he lacks in elements, he gains in ability! Minions are becoming a bigger and bigger part of the game, even if they aren't being played with M'arrillians. Most aggressive overworld decks play Gronmor, and many underworld decks will use either Brimflame, or Bladez, or both. Agrino Jaldar's attacks all deal extra damage to them, and you can make up for his lack of elements with a shard, or a destructozooka.

His brianwashed side is just as fun. If you guys hadn't noticed, brainwashed danians seem to like to fight infected creatures, and Agrino Jaldar isn't an exception! On top of dealing more to those creatures, he gains an additional 5 energy for all of your minions, so you can be sure he won't go in as a wimp waiting for hive to activate :).

This week, I want you guys to tell me which version (brainwashed or pure) that you guys think is best.

Rally the Troops!

Thanks to an anonymous commenter on my last blog post, a new poll over at toywiz.com has people voting what their favorite card game is. Chaotic isn't doing as well is I think it should be doing, so let's show our support! The poll is on the main page on the left hand side a little less than halfway down. Let's see how well we can do! :)

Chaotic Card of the Week February 25

Thanks to Reihaku, I think it's time we talked about Fliandar. If you want to know what I'm talking about, look at his latest video on youetube :): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_MNq5to2NQ&feature=channel_page

Courage: 85

Power: 45

Wisdom: 75

Speed: 35

Energy: 60

Now isn't this a fun little guy? 65 energy, 95 courage and 85 wisdom at his maximum, he is a pretty strong creature to begin with. Then you go into his awesome ability. Healing all of his damage can be a maximum of 60 energy if you use it right, and even more if you raise his energy with mugic, battlegear, or other card effects.

If you infect all of the creatures on the board (all 12 creatures) you will be able to use his ability 4 times. At 60 energy per heal, that is a total of healing 240 energy. Put him in the right deck, and you will be set for the entire match! :).

I can't tell you how crazy things are...

I'm sorry for the lack of updates. Here is the preview I promised:

Landgore is a one build point attack card. Stand aside Primal Smash!

New Previews from tcg player

Here are two new battlegear cards previewed on tcgplayer.com.









































For those of you who don't know what the new key term "Legendary" is yet, let me fill you in. This key word can be put on any card type: creatures, battlegear, locations, mugic, and attacks. You are only allowed one Legendary card in your deck. Think of it like super unique. If I have a legendary attack in my deck, I wouldn't be able to use a Scepter of the Infernal Parasite as well.

So enjoy the cards, comment on them if you want :). I will be posting my last card preview from Comic Con tomorrow.

And old picture, but pleanty of other pictures to entertain

Here is another picture of the new Intress, along with a bunch of the other pictures from comic con :):

Comic Con Pictures!

Hi guys! Sorry, things have been a little "chaotic" over here, and it's been really busy. But here are two new card pictures, as well as some other pictures from the Chaotic booth. I'll give you guys more updates tomorrow and the next day :). Today we have a Challor-like battlegear, and a new Agitos card :).

Stumping Occasus

Here are the five scenarios (which I changed to seven :P), and my answers to what should happen. I will check my answers with the codemasters at New York Comic Con this weekend, and I will give out prizes afterward. If your entry wasn't chosen, it was probably because you didn't leave your username with your post. I know that it may seem like I have had the time to mull over the questions, but I promise that I started looking at these at 7pm today :P.

1. Lordania

"In iron pillar Lord von bloot uses
canon of casualty on engaded intress to counter intress sacrifices her aqua shield
what is the difference before the attack of Lord von bloot?"

-First off, Intress wouldn't be able to sacrifice her battlegear because of the location, so all 20 damage from canon will be calculated. Nice try :P.

2. Kerberos

"So Prince Mundeenu OLD faces off against LVB in a 1vs1 LVB location is flipped and its gothos tower. PM is equipped with a Spectral Viewer and LVB with a destructozooka, he chose fire. LVB attacks first with an ash torrent dealing 25 damage. PM then uses Fanfare of the Vanishing. PM now attacks with Quick Exit (We assume he wins the challenge)how much damage does he deal.""

-Now this is a good question! I actually had to consult my comprehensive rules to get a good idea. It is pretty much a question of if spectral viewer will stop opposing invisibility from negating your invisibility. I believe that mudeenu's invisibility will work, and he will deal 45 damage (20 from strike, 15 from fanfare, and 10 from the attack).

3. Todd Hakusho -you didn't give me a username, but I have your blogger username, so that is close enough :P.

"Now, if you use Najarin Fluidmorpher's Foe to attack another Najarin Fluidmorpher's Foe, and your card gains a Mugic, will this turn continue on into infinity?"

-No, it wouldn't. The way they worded Najarin's ability as "place" a mugic couner on him will prevent him from triggering against himself.

4. kidmarchand

"If a creature uses Canon of casualties on Glost and Appelai uses song of deflection. Does Appelai gain a mugic?"

-This is another good question, and I might get this one wrong too :P. I am going to say yes, because Appelai is worded as " When a Warbeast you control becomes the target of a Mugic or ability". I believe that because of that when, as soon as your warbeast is targeted, Appelai triggers, so even though it wasn't the target when the canon resolves, Appelai's ability will still work.

5. KnucklesE

"Lets say you were facing BigPanda's nimmie. What is the maximum amount of stats and energy that Nimmie could gain?"

-This isn't really a situation, more of a hypothetical. I couldn't tell you what the maximum is, because the maximum will depend on your opponent having a deck that would actually help your Illexia, it wouldn't make much sense to go looking for it :P.

6. timmyv

"I pull Trills of Diminution on Fivarth with Challor. Would that work?"

-Nope :P. You wouldn't be able to play Trills of Diminution because Fivarth can't be targeted to begin with.

7. Gobliin

"Anger'Kreem is Batteling Chaor (or any other creature)and it has 4 mugic counters. Anger use Swarming Destruction (who should do 0) but use is ability to do 25."

-No, the Swarming Destruction's dealing 0 ability will supersede Anger's ability.

Chaotic Card of the Week-February 4

This week's card is Supercooled Rain:

For five build points, Supercooled Rain is a really costly attack, but for dealing 40 damage, and making your opponent lose 4 mugic counters, some players think it is worth the cost. Playing this attack early on will effectively shut down a few of your opponent's mugic cards for the rest of the match. Many decks rely on have an exact number of mugic counters to play their cards, and usually don't have to many mugic counters to pay for anything else.

There is no doubt that Supercooled Rain is good, it is just a matter of whether or not if it is worth the price of 5 build points.

Stump Occasus, win a prize!

I think it is time for a little bit of a contest. Here is how it will work: you guys will send me questions on how cards will work in a certain situation, and I will tell you what I think is suppose to happen. I will then check with some people who REALLY know what should happen, and for every one I get wrong, I will give the asker of the question a prize. The first five people to leave comments on this topic, which includes their username and a question, will be entered into the contest.

So get thinking! :)

Chaotic Card of the Week-January 14

This week's card is Hune Paltanin :)

Courage: 75

Power: 15

Wisdom: 110

Speed: 15

Energy: 40

You might have noticed that I have a little fun in photoshop with this card. I made it foil-y :P.

Anyway, on to the card itself. With two mugic counters, Hune Paltanin is a somewhat strong mugic caster for your back row. She isn't much of a fighter, not even a little, but her ability makes up for it. Overworld decks aren't as widespread as they could be, which is great for a player who chooses to use a Hune Paltanin. Every time your opponent wants to cast a mugic, or play a mugic ability, you get 10 points of healing to protect your creatures.

In an underworld match, all of their damage dealing mugic deals 10 less, and ulmars are next to useless as long as Hune Paltanin is on the board. Mugic is universal. Every deck runs it, so unless you are playing another overworld deck, you are probably going to get upwards of 60 points of healing in a match thanks to her, and that is on top of the two mugic counters she has on her!

So rate her out of ten!

Chaotic Card of the Week-January 7

This week's card is Skeletal Springs :).














This card is a really nifty and interesting counter to the Fluidmorphing decks out there. It's interesting because it powers up water attacks, but it also shuts down an ability that is centered around water. It's nifty because it it one of the only cards that powers up attacks of a certain element without lowering the damage from another elemental type attack. So if you are running a deck that uses both water and earth attacks, you wouldn't play Everrain, but Skeletal Springs would be a much better choice.

This card is a bit of a double edge sword though. Skeltal Springs gives any creature with the Water element Water 5, without lowering the damage of other attacks that your opponent might have. So if your opponent has the water element as well, both of you will both be on equal ground.

Rate out of 10 :).

Podcast episode three is up on youtube, check it out! :).

Would you believe Iparu is in the Nebres card?

Well it's true! Nebres's card has a long and interesting story of tragedy, friendship, and teamwork that I think all of you guys should know about. Ed Nebres is an artist who works for 4kids Entertainment as an artist, and has also done some of the art on our chaotic cards. One day, he had a stroke which really impacted the rest of the art team. All of his friends got together to work on this card and its art as a sort of "get well soon" card. If you own on of these cards, you will notice that the artist's name is "Ed's friends".

Here is a link for the full story:

It is easier to see with the full artwork, but Iparu is just under Nebres's left leg. The link above has the full artwork at the bottom of the page.
